Notes

A short-lived hard rock outfit. All three had earlier been in The Eyes Of Blue and went on to form Big Sleep. Phil Ryan was later with Man. Gary Pickford-Hopkins had a brief stab at a solo career in the eighties.

The CD reissue includes a previously unreleased alternate take of "Freedom Train". Mercury's 1970 compilation, "Dimension of Miracles", included "Women And Children First", which was one of the band's better efforts. Gary Pickford Hopkins was later involved in lots of other projects including Cutting Crew, Drivers, etc.

Reissue of rare gritty underground guitar blues psych rock from 1970 with great snarling guitar tunes and beautiful classic rock mellow songs too. The killer dirty guitar tone and thumpin bass rules! Sounds like a cross between Writing on the Wall and Elias Hulk. Has one bonus track.
